COMPETITIVE FULL COURT CAMP

Levels for Camp: Intermediate - Competitive

🏀 Competitive Full Court Camp

Coach Warner takes intermediate and experienced campers through numerous full-court opportunities designed to keep players active, engaged, and competing.

This camp features continuous game-style drills including 11-man, 3-on-3, 4-on-4, and 5-on-5 formats — creating nonstop full-court experiences where athletes learn by playing. Players are given the freedom to compete, make mistakes, adjust, and continue playing without standing in long lines.

If you want your athlete ACTIVE — not waiting their turn — this is the camp for you.

As always, Coach Warner’s camps are open to the public when the facility allows. Parents are welcome to pull up a foldable chair and enjoy watching continuous, high-energy, competitive play in action.

At the end of camp, families are often surprised by just how fun and competitive basketball camps can truly be. This isn’t your standard camp model — it’s built around movement, repetition, decision-making, and real game intensity.

COACH Warner's 3 on 3 Basketball Camp

Levels for Camp: Intermediate - Competitive

Players sign up individually and are placed on teams for competitive half-court play. Teams may be adjusted midway through camp to ensure balanced, competitive matchups.

Athletes are taught key 3-on-3 entries including V-cuts, L-cuts, ball screens, back screens, flare screens, and the movements that follow — helping them truly understand how to play the game.

With small teams of three (plus a potential sub), players get tons of touches in competitive mini games where winning matters and learning happens simultaneously.

No need to sign up as a team — but athletes are encouraged to invite a friend.

Parents: Staying to watch is highly encouraged. Your athlete will be active, engaged, and constantly competing.
